From the Office of U.S. Rep. Chris Lee (NY - 26):
Congressman Chris Lee (NY-26) today commented on Barack Obama’s inauguration as the 44th President of the United States:
“It is inspiring to see Americans from all walks of life come together to mark this historic moment for our country. Today is certainly much more than another orderly transfer of power.
“President Obama’s inaugural address set the right tone for the work that lies ahead in repairing our economy and restoring the public’s trust in their government. I am hopeful that today marks the beginning of an era of progress grounded in a commitment to bipartisan solutions.
“I know my constituents join me in congratulating our new president, vice president, and their families.”
